Throughout July, Western Power are removing out-of-service pilot cables along Brockway Road in Mount Claremont. Pilot cables are communication cables that run alongside power lines.
They don’t supply electricity to homes or businesses. Instead, they carry signals that help monitor and manage the electricity network.
These cables have already been replaced with newer, more advanced communication systems. Removing infrastructure that’s no longer in use helps keep your neighbourhood tidy and supports a safer, more reliable network for everyone.
There are no planned power outages associated with this work.
When they'll be there
Works will take place in sections along Brockway Road from 7am-5pm:
What you may notice
- Some noise from work activities
- Traffic management in place along sections of Brockway Road, including minor traffic delays
Who to contact
If you have any questions about these works, contact Western Power.
